I'm an electrician (25 years) & can appreciate people who excel in their craft... As this gentleman plainly displayed in this video. InF___ingcredible! 👏🏼👍🏻
What a great build. The minute I saw it I thought of Hand-i-craft, a one-armed woodworker, whom has just started using a band saw as his main large cut capacity. This could be a great addition to his shop, his safety, and his growth as a woodworker. Love the build thank you.
@izzyswan I tried the router table, the table saw, & a few methods I’m ashamed of… I can’t get a jointer right now. I did get a bandsaw for Christmas though. You have no idea how excited I am. This is genius. I can’t believe I didn’t think of it. TY so much!!!
Excellent jig! Bought me a bandsaw a while ago and was just in the process of how do I fix something and slide it along the saw? It might be a bit smaller then yours but the concept is great. And the need for a jointer has left the building. Thanks!
So what's the stand you're using before the bandsaw table. I like the idea but seems like it requires as much room as jointer although I get that you now have a multi purpose tool. Maybe I'll try building a small version to see how it would work in my shop which doesn't have much space
That's a killer set up right there! I have a big jointer but I'm still going to build one of these for exactly what you showed in the video. Thanks for sharing your brilliant ideas and craftsmanship!
I came across your $100 chainsaw mill, while looking for ideas on how to mill the logs I've cleared from my land. I'm too old (and sore) to invest money in a bandsaw, so this is perfect solution. I will be using an aluminum ladder for my track. I've since started watching your other videos, and as a former carpenter, I admire your ingenuity and thoughtful planning. I look forward to watching more videos, and seeing what else you will come up with. Keep them coming.
GREAT video, Izzy!! Being someone else who doesn't have an excess amount of zero's in my bank account, it's refreshing to see how others - similarly endowed - resolved unique problems. More so than wood, when I was restoring historic race cars I often had to... INVENT... ways of producing final products without the benefit of all the 'gee-whiz, no-shit' tools that major shops possessed. Seven championships in ten years... I think I got it right!
I'm happy to see that you're mobile on your own two feet. I just saw your latest video, and I like it, but I wish I had a larger band saw. I'm starting to do larger projects, and my 9-inch isn't working for some of the size of rough cut wood I have .
A good jig for sure! Basically you built a small version of a saw mill carriage ! Good thinking! I agree a nice wide joiner is nice but the space and money the require for occasional use is hard to justify!
"I never said that!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣 You two are such a great couple. I was thinking that maybe you could somehow use your saw mill for as a way to "joint" wider material.
Izzy, your stuff is always just GENIUS!😲I think Maggie did you a BIG favor saying no. Not just saving money, but for longer and wider boards, it COULD produce better results, due to stable material handling. That Powermatic Jointer you showed is a GREAT tool, but if memory serves, thats a chip shield and does nothing to hold the material flat on the table, so on long stock like you were milling, any error suporting the material on the feed could show up on the milled board. Setting up featherboards or other hold downs, just seems like a lot more trouble. In a small shop, your design just seems more doable and bulletproof. THANKS for sharing this.😎
Nice Jig and useful for many things, especially long Veneer Flitch for more exotic wood, but for the purpose of a jointer you just took off a lot of wood. That looks close to a 1/4 inch. With a jointer and planner that's a lot of discard. It might not matter much if you only plane a few times a year. You are also basing the 2 for 90 degrees for the 10 or 12 inches. Don't see getting a consistent square. If you are getting hardwood from a wholesale supplier can't see it turning out square boards, that are ready for light sanding. Really nice jig though and will build it for all the other uses, mainly turning logs to dimension lumber.
Dang. I was hoping they gave you the jointer/shaper thing you demoed a few months back for free. You’re one of the most honest, thorough, and knowledgeable influencers on here. They should hook you up. Because remember that your tools will always love you, even when your wife says she doesn’t. 😂
So great to have the 'old' (young) Izzy back. Instructional vids, teaching, ideas. Granted this isn't for me (I'll never deal with lumber this size), but this does give ideas for smaller jigs to do smaller resawing. One thing my Jet bandsaw just doesn't like doing is resawing AT ALL. Blade wanders so much it's crazy. Many articles I've read is to use a "Re-Saw Sled", but they stop there...now seeing this? Yea...I see something. LOVE LOVE LOVE this kind of video Izzy!
Hey friend! Is your band saw blade wandering only when attempting to resaw? Are you trying to free hand it against the fence? I'm trying to understand your problem. All the Best, Chuck.
@toolchuck only on re-saw. Ive tried a resaw fence as well. I can't tension the blade any more than it is. It's an old saw from my dad, and reading a lot of articles he accumulated over the years on it, it looks to be a fairly common problem with that old JET. I'd love a different saw, but just not in the budget.
Excellent jig although one of the key elements to its success is the infeed- outfeed tables with miter slots matched to the bandsaw slots. Until I can build those I will probably continue to secure pieces to a slab of MDF and run them through my thickness planer
As usual another awesome video Izzy. LoL for "not loving" being equivalent to "denying a tool purchase". BTW by that logic I am quite lucky even after being married for 30 years - no tool purchases denied 😊 And yes, Alex Snodgrass is the Bandsaw Guru 🙂 - I am his follower too.
Thats cool... I had a very nice heavy old growth Honduras Mahogany Plank with awesome deep grain, took it to a boat builder to cut it into 2 planks and ended up with 2 butchered planks. He should of had a jig like that.
Really nice jig but I’m more impressed with your bandsaw it’s a weapon and your in and out feed table is awesome and thanks for always dropping great content
I worked in shop 9:55 that had 20" joiner. It was a scary beast but necessary to face big loads of hardwood into S4S. It had severely Injured one worker. All he got back was 4 partial fingers and no thumb. Facing material was a dangerous task in those days. I personally introduced push pads to the shop when they came out. I like this bandsaw technique. It takes care of 90% of the small shop facing and edging needs for boards under 15" 9:55 I've used a table Saw with a jig for edging. Now I mostly use the first track saw, a shop made straight edge jig and a worm drive saw. I used that for years to edge. I would always bring the hand tool to the big boards if I could. It's a lot less strain on the body.
Great job Izzy. I see you use a drill to tighten the clamp bolt. It appears that the bolt presses against the stop block. In time the stop block will crack. This can be mitigated by attaching a 1/8” steel plate on the stop block.
Great jig. Well developed. You always have good ideas and are able to make them a reality. At present I can't use a jig like this but I have learned a few things about clamping systems that I can use on other jigs. Thanks
loved the simplicity of this jig. I'm fairly new to the art of woodworking and I'm quickly learning that jigs are super important for a professional job well done. thanks for sharing loved the infeed and outfeed table, where can I learn more about that?
6:46 An impact driver will obviously work to tighten the carriage bolts, although overkill in my opinion. A “little past snug” is probably plenty tight, so a drill driver with a high clutch setting would be my weapon of choice to be a little gentler on the clamps. I love the look of this jig though 👍
Does anyone think a drum sanding cylinder might provide a thinner stock removal like a commercial joiner would which a bandsaw doesn't? The rest of the vertical configuration would remain the same.
Cool. I'd call that a resawing sled. You'd ultimately complete jointing that face with your planer if necessary. It's like a planer jointing sled turned on its side.
Well, i think i speak for most of your viewers... we are glad Maggie is not loving you as much as you think she could/should. It gives us your great content. Ty Maggie
Wow Izzy, I have a jointer/planer combo but I've been thinking about a simple re-saw jig. I currently just use the pointed board as a fence which is much better than doing it just by eye. Your jig there has got me thinking. thinking I need a better bandsaw, lol! But seriously nice jig.
For your viewers that dont have a bandsaw , a handheld power planer and 2 scraps of paralell wood as winding sticks and a straight edge makes short work of flattening wood .... It needs a bit of skill knowing where to take off wood from and it takes a bit of time , but once you develop that skill , face jointing becomes a breeze .. a power planer helps make it quick and you can find a makita power planer for quite a good price on market place some times as little as $20
As I'm sure other people have said, You are the jig master!! I can't tell you the number of your jigs, I have built.:) I think if I built all the jigs you have ever created, I would never get anything else done!! I think you should just stop building jigs for a while, cause I'm running out of space to store them!!
I used to build circular architectural stairs where we used to resaw the stringers down to a 1/4" or so so they'd bend on a form..but the blade on the bandsaw was over 2" wide..that blade looks lil thin..good to see your making videos after some of yer health issues👍
I really like this idea. I resaw a lot of lumber. Question for you. After your first cut you have one flat side but it's not necessarily 90 degrees to the edge so you don't have a bottom reference. How do you make the 2nd cut on the other side and ensure it's coplaner to the first side you cut? I think you used a block of wood the same length as the base but it wasn't clear to me.
Do you prefer this setup vs using a planer and a sled for the face and a tablesaw and jig for the edges? I'm guessing this is much faster with more waste vs the sled/jig being slower with less waste? So if you're only doing it a few times a year the waste doesn't really add up?
Izzy your beyond cool , a maker extraordinaire, your beautiful, I absolutely love you. My shop will never give up my jointers, if I need more space for a jointer I’ll put an addition on my shop.❤
Would a hold down clamp that slides up and down work or would it not provide the clamping pressure necessary? I imagine if it wasn’t offset to the dado like your design it might just tend to cause it to slide?
If you need to flatten rough sawn, a sled for your planer might save more of the original dimensions. This setup definitely reduces the load on dust collection, though. I’d suggest it’s better for resawing rather than “jointing”, but it’s a very nice rig!
Love you, love Maggie, love my band saw but frankly Izzy, I could more easily fit a jointer (no I couldn’t) than fit a jig like this in my tiny shop. Looking forward to tiny shop jigs in the future.
I subbed because this is the "Can Do" mentality that's needed to succeed. But the cat's out of the bag, The Miss's knows how much you saved, I suspect you doing more than cuttin' wood!! LOL.
I'm torn apart now should I buy a jointer or a band saw and make this jig? I live in Bangladesh getting flat wood from stores is not an option everything is rough lumber and also chances are after buying lumber name it cup, warp or twist they all have it to some degree. Whats fascinating is the amount of dust collection that will be saved and reduced passes not to mention the noise levels of jointers holy shit!
Great video - I'll be building this. I'm interested to know what outfeed and infeed tables you've got for your bandsaw - or did you just make your own?
Fyi “S4S stands for "surfaced on 4 sides", meaning that the material is finished on all four sides. Dimensional lumber is commonly S4S. S4S finished lumber and dimensional lumber are labeled according to nominal size, or the size of the rough board before it was planed smooth”
@IzzySwan thanks for the lesson. You would probably laugh at my itty bitty bandsaw...lol. I can pick it up one handed...runs on drill power...I'm only starting out and I wasn't sure if I would use one. I paid less than $50/cdn...don't remember exactly but it was cheap. The guy I got it from had upgraded...lucky me!
This is a pretty sweet setup! How do you like your Bosch miter saw? I picked one up from a friend yesterday, and I can't wait to use it. Luckily, it already has a Forrest Chopmaster blade on it.
I figured the infeed/outfeed components were options from Harvey but, no such luck. Could you point us to where they come from, or are those homemade as well?
And unlike ending up with a bucket full of sawdust and chips, the off-cut could be possibly repurposed or used in a functional way somewhere else.
This is exactly the sort of thing that made me subscibe to your channel many years ago.
Excellent work.

saying anything is "overkill" to a guy with a 700lb 3HP 15in bandsaw probably won't resonate.
You might flip your jig to the outside of the blade, put supports and you can work with is wide as you want.

Izzy, please please do a video in the infeed/out feed tables for your bandsaw. I need something like this!
will do
Another fantastic jig and so easy to tidy up after, unlike the mounds of waste created by a jointer ... I might build one once I have a jigsaw 👍
Ever heard of dust collection. And what´s more important. Quality or cleaning for you.
Cool. I'd call that a resawing sled. You'd ultimately complete jointing that face with your planer if necessary. It's like a planer jointing sled turned on its side.

This system would be easy to modify to be a full on sawmill. Great video Izzy!
That’s what Zi was thinking
Did you build those bandsaw in-feed and out-feed tables? I need those!!
Is it just the width of the lumber that makes using the band saw more suited than using the table saw for jointing with a similar jig?

I figured the infeed/outfeed components were options from Harvey but, no such luck. Could you point us to where they come from, or are those homemade as well?
they are homemade
@@izzyswan missed the reply. Of course they are! Thanks
It’s a good jig, but I’m not giving up my nice affordably used jointer… it’s a tool that can do so much more than dimensioning up rough lumber
You know you can pop the guard off the jointer and take alternating passes right?
You have some nice infeed and outfeed tables that help a lot. What is their origin?
I built them for working with larger material on my bandsaw
I'm a blind Carpenter to keep my fingers, I'm going to stick with a jointer. Lol Really I like the jig. 👍👍🤘
This is fantastic. Thankyou
Great work! Gracias!
